Life, love, work, friends updates

and a quick survey & gifts for you.

Hello my dear friends,

It’s July 14th. More half the year is gone.

I know.

How about taking a 7 second deep breath into the belly and release.

Woa. What a half year.

I'm back, and there have been many changes in my life that I'd like to share with you.

Life Updates

SO MANY THINGS HAPPENED. Here’s a few snippets.

In Feb 2024, I got to host my beloved global community Sandbox for its Global Summit in Vietnam.

It was the best experience of my life, hosting the people I loved in my beloved homeland.

“friends, tea and the sea” - recipe for fulfillment

Sandbox friends coming to my beloved House of Belonging & Liberation in Saigon for a mini concert.

In June, I attended my former partner’s wedding in June (with another former…). It was moving to witness her journey, and I couldn’t help but think about mine :-) Relationships have been my greatest teacher, and I am so grateful for the joy and pain it has shown me.

Attending my former partner’s wedding in Bali - it’s like a Burning Man x Traditional Asian Wedding, which is so amazing. In photo: the AMAZING SOUL SINGER Lex - pls do check her out

Indeed, my relationships, romantic and intimate, have been challenging. I've learned a lot, and I’m still learning.

A few posts that I wrote on this topic that you might find useful

• NOT SURE IF THIS IS "THE ONE"? YOU MIGHT HAVE NOT BEEN CLEAR, OR ASKED FOR IT DIRECTLY, ABOUT WHAT YOU REALLY WANT.

• YOU KNOW IT’S TIME TO MOVE ON, BUT YOU STILL STAY IN THAT JOB OR RELATIONSHIP (AND THAT’S KILLING YOU?) WELCOME IN THE FEAR FULLY, AND FEEL THROUGH WHAT IS UNDERNEATH.

• RELATIONSHIP KEEPS BREAKING JUST BEFORE IT BECAME A COMMITTED THING? YOU MIGHT NEED TO TRAIN YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM TO STAY OPEN.

• How to soothe yourself after a painful encounter? Feel the pain and find its meaning

(Some of you might notice that my writing style is also changing - more salesy & markety - I am still experimenting and evolving my style, especially now that I’m learning to build a venture.I do expect that will turn some of you off, which I am sad and also accepting 🥲 …)

New direction: building this venture for real

The major change is that I feel more committed now with building this coaching venture.

As some of you know, I’ve been doing this work for a while as a side gig.

Now, I am committed that I want to build and grow this work full time - catalysing wholesome relationships & wholehearted living.

Which means there will be changes to this newsletter.

Which brings me to a small ask:

Could you help me with a 5-10 mins survey I'm conducting? Design Your Life, Work, Love

I hope that the survey will also give you a quick sense of clarity for your own life. It will also give me some ideas what to write about.

I'll be back soon, and I might share some of the survey results in future newsletters. Maybe I'll write about how this process is changing my approach to the newsletter itself.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me thus far, and if you choose to continue with me in this messy journey, I am truly grateful.

Much love,

Khuyến

ps: do send me back a few thoughts - what have you been asking yourself?

pss: as a gift for the survey, I’ll pick someone for a complimentary Clarity & Momentum conversation with me, which will move you forward.
